Alhamdulilah great to see a halal spot. This place was busy when we went around lunch, but they made our food quickly and it was very fresh. The interior was nice, the bathrooms were clean. We got 2 zinger 1 meals (chicken burger with dips) + an Oreo milk shake + loaded fries and we got a free drink. Milkshake was average Zinger burgers were huge portions (idk if that is an American thing tho) Loaded fries were big too. Well worth the quality. The flavours are very strong and the medium is quite spicy. Fries are a bit too seasoned. Paid $100 cad total, in Toronto this would’ve been around $50-60 so I’m not sure if this is an average California price but thought I’d put it out there. Great overall!

Had to try after driving by so many times. This new halal style was not only good but great all around. Tried the Volcano (yes, signed the waiver) chicken and it is spicy (dusted) but delicious. Chicken was nice and tender and juicy. The fries were seasoned well. The smash burger was delicious too. The service was incredibly warm and welcoming. I'm sure if one were to go 2 more times, they'd remember you well. That's how friendly the staff was.

This is the 2nd time I go to Zingsters and I love love love love everything. The portion of the food is real and I dare you to find all this where a big guy can actually get full from $20 max ordering #1 because it’s definitely big, they make it from scratch and nothing like I’ve seen for quality, portion and price all combined. Trust me you will get full and I’m talking about big guys who need to eat and feel satisfied.

Hands down the best fried chicken sando!!! Very crispy - must try - highly highly recommended. I got the zing 2 which was supposed to be 2 “small” sliders - they were big enough for 2 ppl. One small detail - the soda machine did not have diet/reg pepsi that day, if this was KFC they would have just put a sign that says out of order, but their sign says you can pick up a soda can at the register. I thought that was very thoughtful…

I tried the Zing 1 Meal, which was recommended as the best option by the owner. I chose the Hot spice level, and it was perfectly manageable for me. I especially liked the peri peri-style fries. The chicken was flavorful, crunchy, and served in a good quantity. The staff members were also very friendly and welcoming.

We came here based on recommendation and it did not disappoint us. I had the smash burger and my wife has the zing 1 chicken medium. I think the chicken sandwich is much better and highly recommended. Chicken is soft and tender. The smash burger was great too and the place is very nice with comfortable chair and prayer section.

Another Nashville Chicken restaurant is in Fremont! Not only that they served chicken burgers and sliders, but also smashed burgers too. The restaurant was quiet when I got in and there were only a few customers. They also have a prayer room where people can pray there. Also, the place looks really nice and it seems that the staff are taking good care of it especially when I saw one of them clean the tables. The menu representation looks nice and clear. They have a combo burger which comes with a chicken slider and a single-patty smashed burger. I decided to get that to try both at the same time. It’s $18.99, which isn’t really bad and the same price as Zing 2, which is the same except that it’s two chicken sliders. The fries are well seasoned and very tasty. The two sauces that come with a meal are very delicious that they blend well with the fries and the chicken slider. The chicken slider tastes good and I’m surprised that they added coleslaw to the smashed burger. That’s basically a way to make up a smashed patty since it’s recommended that you get a double patty to have a good bun-to-meat ratio. I also like how they packaged everything inside a box probably for convenience. I’m looking forward to Zing 1, which is I believe a chicken burger rather than a slider given its unique appearance and probably bigger size.

This is a nice small halal food location. I got the combo with the beef burger and chicken zinger burger. I made it a meal with fries and a drink. I didn't really like the fries too much. They felt a bit salty and oily and it felt like they added a little but too much of their flavoring powder that's used in them. I won't be getting them again. The sauces that came with the fries were good. The burgers were good. I liked the chicken burger better than the beef burger. The beef burger patty has that Harris Ranch pre taste I don't like (maybe it's just not fresh?). It could use a bit more flavor.
